FRANK p. CAvANAH.

II MANN Va ANAhs
To THE HONORABLE CONN, ssIoNER GENERAL LAND
OFFICE Washington, ID. O.
SIR: We have the honor to submit
herewith our joint opinion in the
above entitled cause.
The case was brought on by report
of Specia! Agent A. S. Caldwell, made
July Is, 1885, at which time Frank P.
Cavanah's Desert Entry, No. 66, was
held for cancellation on said report.
Cavanah applied for hearing to show
why his entry should be sustained and
not cancelled. The substance of the
Special Agents report was that he
made personal examination of the
tract, and found a house upon the
land worth about $50, erected by one
Walker, and several small bitches
made by Cavanah three years ago, but
not large enough to be of any real
use; land has not been reclaimed.
A hearing was granted Cavanah by
your letter "P',' of May 81, 1886, and
was held at this Office July 10, 1886.
The testimony on the part Of the
Government being all submitted, Spe-
cial Agent Caldwell was suddenly
called elsewhere, and the case contin-
ued from day to day until he could
return, but Special Agent Caldwell
could not find an opportunity to re-
turn, and on January 28, 1887, Special
Agen, Geo. F. Williams appeared,
and the defense were allowed to sub.
NIT their testimony, ind the case was
duly closed; and upon careful ex
animation Of the testimony submitted
we are Of the opinion
| First-That Desert Entryman Cav
anah has shown fully that his entry
No. &C, was reclaimed (see testimony
of Relf. Bledsoe on the part of the
Government, of e. B. True and f. P
Cavanah, copies of original proofs
made at time Of final proofs) as re
CURED by the Desert Land Act, ant
that he has title to sufficient water t.
continue the reclamation of the sail
entry, and that therefore for this tn
entry should be allowed to stand an,
patent issue.

year or two ago Plankinton disposed of
his interests in tn" great packing firm, merely
| retaining the Milwaukee house. He publicly
announced that he had all the money he cared
for and didn't want the bother of the business
any longer. Since that time he has taken life
comparatively easy. His interests are wholly
| local. but his methodical way of living keeuS
its grasp on him. He leaves his home at :
| o'clock every morning and does not return
until q in the evening He is the most public
spirited man in the Cream City. His resi-
dence on Grand avenue is palatial. 1t is said
to be the best furnished house in the west
By its side is another stately mansion
occupied by his son. Across the broad
avenue a 100000 house is Just be
ing completed for his unmarried daughter
This rich man has a peculiar hobby. 1t is a
hotel. He don't care for fast horses, fine
dogs, paintings or "such truck" but he is am
bilious to own the finest hotel in the west 1t
is the Plankinton house, covers a whole block,
represents an investment of 81 ,0OO, 600 and is
said to be one of the best kept in the country.
While he is not a fancer of works of art his,
| house is museum of fine paintings, costly
statuary and rare brio brac They were
mostly collected by his daughter, who is now
and has been abroad many times. When an
exposition was started Pankinton fairly
fathered it, After investing thousands in it
he ended by presenting the association with
$4,000. A dozen of the finest blocks in
Milwaukee have been erected and are owned
| by him. Last summer when the Spngerfest
met in this city, he donated 81 900 for prize
composition. He is foremost in all public
enterprises. A year ago his daughter pre-
sented the city with statue of W ashington
which cost S25,OOO, These are the salient
points of his career, and Milwaukeeans, when
they come to Chicago, never tire of telling
new stories of John Plankinton's prodigious
generosity and enterprise.

"The old idea that nearly all great lit
erary genuses, especially poets, wrote
poor hands has been exploded thor
oughly." said an expert penman 10 a re
porter. He meditated a few minutes and
proceeded in the same strain: TO illus

Ii was rather small but legible as print.
He never scrawled, however fast lie

wrote fair smooth. round hand. Rich
ard Henry Stoddard, the white haired
poet perhaps wrote the most beautiful
hand OF any of the American poets up 10
several years ago. Ii was somewhat like
the Spencerian system of today. The let
tiers were well formed and even. and
properly shaded. Even now, well ad
yanced in years, he writes a fine copy
hand aS easy to read as print Some Of
his best poems are written in hand Of
such neatness and legibility as would put
the typewriter to the blush. Mr.. StOd-
dard handles a pen with wonderful celer-
ity vet. William Cullen Bryant also
wrote good hand. 1t was not as beau
tiful even as Mr.. Stoddard's, but as fair
and legible rs the most hypercritical
could desire. Mr.. Bryant's handwriting
has been much discussed. He wrote a bet
ter hand than Poe, though the latter was
better at certain times than others. John
G. Whittier is master of fine, plain hand
that the printers bless. II is as simple,
small and unassuIning as he is. and can
be read easily. John Howard Payne,
author of Home, Sweet Home" could

raised his head in surprise when no stop

at gallop down the track. In vain the
engine rushed forward with maddening
speed. till coaches rocked aud ladies
screamed in terror. When the train
reached Palatka the hog was eating waste
